Nambour Orchid News Februarymay 2018 2018 Nambour Orchid News FebruaryMay 2018 2018 Judges Choice - April - Bulbophyllum medusae. This species is epiphytic and lithophytic. It grows on limestone rocks in Thailand, western Malaysia, the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, Singapore, and the Philippines. I purchased this plant from Robert Trost at our Species Show in November 2011. It had three pseudobulbs growing in an 80mm pot, and sat and sulked for a year before starting to grow. It flowered for the first time in April 2014 with two inflorescences. May 2016, eight inflorescences, and later that year was potted up into the current size saucer, 260 x 50 mm. The plant has doubled in size since then. It is growing in a mixture of perlite and peat at a ratio of 12-1 with small amounts of medium bark, charcoal, diatomite and coconut pieces, with some gravel on top. It is under 70 percent shadecloth during summer, with a layer of solar weave added for winter. Watering is done to suit weather conditions, every second or third day in warmer weather, in cold conditions about once a week. I use a small amount of Plantacote Top K controlled release fertiliser twice a year, and use various foliar fertilisers at half strength every two weeks. Once a month I use a systemic fungicide, next month contact insecticide, following month contact fungicide, then systemic insecticide. Mid April the plant had four inflorescences open, but still lots of buds. Then, with good timing, two days before our meeting, nineteen inflorescences opened. At the meeting, a panel of judges considered the plant for an award, and it received an HCC and ACC. Thank you judges, you made my day. Judy PO Box 140, Nambour QLD 4560 . [email protected] www.nambourorchidsociety.com Find us on Secretary news May Eight of our members travelled to the South Burnett Orchid Society show, held on the weekend of the Wondai Garden expo in April. A great effort from our members and all came home with at least one ribbon. Congratulations go to Judy for taking out Champion species with her Prosthechea boothiana. South Burnett is only a very small club and it is nice to see such great support for them from our members. We all had a wonderful social day amongst fellow orchid growers. Our next show was Gympie which we came home from with some success also. Tie for 2nd place display with Agnes Water, and a nice lot of ribbons. John Robertson was the winner of Champion Orchid with Cycd.Taiwan Gold, & Judy took out Champion species with one of her favourites, Phalaenopsis bellina. Congratulations to all the winners. We now have a bit of a break from shows, our next event as a club will be Garden Expo display in July. Results from Gympie display are below. C & G McMonagle Dendrobium rigidum 3rd C & M Brackin C.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT With several Orchid Shows behind us, we have a short breather before the next round. Many thanks to all who assisted in the tasks associated with these events. What a pleasure to have, at long last, some cooler weather. I hope you are all enjoying a surge in vitality and finding time to do the tasks that have been put off because it was “Too Hot”! At our April meeting we enjoyed the presentation on Botanical Art put together by Beryl Robertson and marvelled at her exquisite representation of orchids, wild flowers and butterflies in watercolours. Thank you so much Beryl for sharing your talents with us and maybe inspiring others to try as well. I am grateful for all the work that our members do to keep the wheels rolling, at meetings and other activities. We endeavour to make your membership meaningful and enjoyable and appreciate any suggestions that you may wish to put to the Committee. Cheers, Gina Judges Choice - Novice Dendrobium Burana Dark Blue We purchased this plant last March at the Yandina Show. It was flowering at the time with 3 flower spikes. This year it bloomed in early March with one long flower spike. It is grown in our green house under 70% shade. Usual watering and fertilizing. The parent plants are Dendrobium Fuchs Blue Angel X Dendrobium Kikuya. The blooms on this plant gives us great joy and is still looking good today.

Alan & Alison Fittonia Care by Sean Hemmer - updated November 28, 2016 Fittonia Overview Fittonia is often called the "nerve plant" or "mosaic plant" due to the bright, contrasting veins that run through the leaves. There are many cultivars of the nerve plant that feature many different styles of veining and foliage. The plant is native to the warm, humid regions of South America - especially Peru. This makes fittonia require care that is different compared to most houseplants. The plant's requirement for high humidity and moist soil calls for regular watering and misting. Soil also needs to be suitable for fittonia to keep the foliage healthy. Pruning should also be performed to keep the plant looking full and Pink Vein Fittonia bushy, and to prevent the plant from wasting resources on boring blooms during its flowering stage. A little fertilizer can be used to replenish nutrients a few months after potting. Light Requirements for Fittonia Fittonia need filtered sunlight to flourish. Filtered light is similar to the light the plant receives under the canopies of its native tropical lands. Bright, direct sunlight will cause the edges of the leaves to burn, discolor, and become crispy. Move the plant further away from sunlight if burning occurs. Artificial Lighting Indoor fluorescent lighting can be used, but the plant needs to be placed close to the lights. Fluorescent lighting is not very intense, thus the close placement of the plant. Metal halide or high- pressure sodium lamps work great, but may be a bit too intense if placed close to the lamp. Metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps are much pricier compared to fluorescent lamps. Watering Fittonia The soil should always remain moist due to the tropical nature of fittonia. Use room temperature water and thoroughly moisten the soil, but do not water so much as to cause waterlogged soil. Waterlogged soil promotes disease and restricts air flow to and around the roots. Pouring out excess water is a must. Overwatering will cause discoloration and wilting of the leaves. The best method to estimate when to water is by feeling the weight of the container before and after a thorough watering. Poking a finger into the soil to test for moisture will only test the upper few inches of the container. Placing a pot with drainage holes in a tray will create a little humidity. Adding gravel to the tray will slow down the rate of evaporation, and increases the time between waterings. Always use water that is room temperature. Misting Fittonia need regular misting to keep the leaves from becoming limp and wilted. The plant is indigenous to tropical regions and has grown to require moisture on the foliage. Mist once or twice a day, along with regular watering. Wilting is only temporary, as long as a little watering and misting occurs soon after. Repeated wilting will stress the plant and is not healthy over time. Soil for Fittonia Soil that drains well is a necessity for fittonia to flourish. The soil should also be high in organic content, which mimics its native tropical habitat. Soil high in organic matter will retain water, but may hold a little too much water. The soil should never remain waterlogged. Soil that remains saturated promotes disease and root rot.

  • Bulbophyllum
    Bulbophyllum Introduction ::: Bulbophyllum are the largest genus in the orchid family with species deriving from the high and low altitude rain and cloud forests of most tropical and subtropical countries. They have tremendous variation in their growth habit, ranging from fully terrestrial species to giant epiphytic climbers. They can bloom directly from the rhizome or the growth, depending on the species. Whilst it seems they are a diverse group of plants, they can mostly be grown together. They are a good genus to cultivate and relatively forgiving. Pot type: These orchids can be grown mounted on slabs of cork or tree fern. However, all the species can be grown in shallow pots, or even baskets. One requirement is to retain enough moisture at the root, as most species don’t like to dry out. The rhizome can be trained to stay in the pot by bending them, eventually cutting the old bulbs and leaving them in place, so they will provide additional growth in the pot. Sphagnum has been popular because it retains a lot of moisture, which is what these plants prefer when in active growth; however when it decays or starts to retain too many salts, the plants will have problems. One common problem being rot, for some more sensitive species, sphagnum will have a too low pH, resulting in either rhizome or emerging growth rot. Growers then start to keep the sphagnum dryer to prevent the rot, but it precludes a strong, fast growth. Orchiata has a higher pH, retains enough moisture and due to Orchiata’s longevity there is no need to disturb the plant for some years.

Zusammenfassung Die antillanische Flora ist eine der artenreichsten der Erde. Trotz jahrhundertelanger floristischer Forschung zeigen jüngere Studien, daß der Archipel noch immer weiße Flecken beherbergt. Das trifft besonders auf die Familie der Orchideen zu, deren letzte Bearbeitung für Cuba z.B. mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert zurückliegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der lang ausstehenden Revision der Orchideengattung Pleurothallis R. Br. für die Flora de Cuba. Mittels weiterer morphologischer, palynologischer, molekulargenetischer, phytogeographischer und ökologischer Untersuchungen auch eines Florenteils der anderen Großen Antillen wird die Genese der antillanischen Pleurothallis-Flora rekonstruiert. Der Archipel umfaßt mehr als 70 Arten dieser Gattung, wobei die Zahlen auf den einzelnen Inseln sehr verschieden sind: Cuba besitzt 39, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 und Puerto Rico 11 Spezies. Das Zentrum der Diversität liegt im montanen Dreieck Ost-Cuba – Jamaica – Hispaniola, einer Region, die 95 % der antillanischen Arten beherbergt, wovon 75% endemisch auf einer der Inseln sind.

Box 230, BABINDA 4861 Phone: 0740 671 577 Newsletter 53 December 2005 MAJORS MOUNTAIN - A WALK TO PARADISE FOR A NATIVE ORCHID GROWER t~r; I1 -&d by Mark Nowochatko In Mid August 2005 the Atherton Tablelands Branch of SGAP conducted a field day at Major's Mountain, just east of Ravenshoe on the Evelyn Tableland in North Queensland. A group of 20 plus diehard SGAP enthusiasts met at the trailhead and undertook the walk of approximately 3 km one way. With the first 2.1 km easy going, the balance is a strenuous climb to an elevation of around 1,100 metres. II I1 Moving from the main track to the Major's Mountain goat trail, the orchids started with a Plectorrhiza tridentata and several Bulbophyllurns. Shortly after the steep climbing starts the orchid zone is reached. The pace slowed considerably as everyone explored this wonderful orchid habitat, and the difficulty of the walk faded away. Dendrobium adae in bloom greeted the walkers; some flowers with a significant amount of red on the back of the tepals caught the interest of several people. Amongst the orchids in bloom visible at eye level was Sarcochilusfalcatus. The plants are small with flowers nearly as large as the plants. A stunning Sarcochilus borealis (olivaceous) on a tree trunk barely 100 mm off the ground tested the determination of several photographers. (Mind you the ground was sloping up at over 50°.*) Several plants of Taeniophyllum were found carrying seed pods, but without the flowers positive identification of the species was not possible.

  • Movements of Floral Parts and Roles of the Tooth On
    Journal of Pollination Ecology, 24(17), 2018, pp 157-163 — Short Communication — MOVEMENTS OF FLORAL PARTS AND ROLES OF THE TOOTH ON THE COLUMN WALL OF BULBOPHYLLUM PRAETERVISUM (ORCHIDACEAE) FLOWER IN POLLINATION BY DACINI FRUIT FLIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) Tan, Keng Hong*1,2 and Tan, Lin Tze3 1Mobula Research Sdn. Bhd., 20, Jalan Tan Jit Seng, 11200 Penang, Malaysia 2Academy of Sciences Malaysia, MATRADE Tower, Jalan Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 3Bachemer Strasse, 20, Bonn, 53179 Germany Abstract—Bulbophyllum is the largest genus of the orchid family, with about 2000 species that are mainly pollinated by flies. Flowers of many Bulbophyllum species under the Sections Sestochilos and Beccariana specifically attract Dacini fruit flies, Bactrocera and Zeugodacus species, as pollinators. Non-nectar producing and non-resupinate solitary flowers of Bu. pratervisum emit specific and pleasant floral fragrances to specifically attract and reward male fruit flies. Slippery surfaces on their lateral sepals aid in pollination. Although pollinia removal by male fruit flies has been observed frequently, deposition of pollinia to complete pollination (by two males of Ba. albistrigata and Z. caudatus) has only been observed recently. Field observations show two previously unreported movements of floral parts – a) petals and medial sepal during daily closing and reopening of flowers, and b) the spring-loaded and hinged lip during removal and deposition of pollinia by a male fruit fly. Additionally, a third (novel) movement has been observed, either when the flower closes for the night to protect the stigma, or after a fly has deposited the pollinia onto the stigma, the 'acute tooth' on each column wall folds inwards specifically to secure the newly deposited pollinia.

ABSTRACT In this article, ITS sequences of 34 species in Bulbophyllum genus were researched. Alignment between ITS sequences from the species was performed, and discovered that average percentage sequence divergence (uncorrected p distance) within Bulbophyllum species was 9.87% and maximum in-group ITS divergence was 13.68% (between B. membranifolium with B. sulcatum). Molecular systematic analysis of ITS was revealed that, 34 species of Bulbophyllum were monophyletic and they were divided into six groups, which is partly inconsistent with the viewpoint of morphological classification of Bulbophyllum in Peninsular Malaysia. Keywords: Bulbophyllum, Classification, ITS Sequence, Orchidaceae, Peninsular Malaysia INTRODUCTION epiphytic and they are found in different habitats Bulbophyllum Thou. is the largest genus of ranging from (sub) tropical dry forests to wet subtribe Bulbophyllinae (Schlechter, 1926).

Several new sections introduced in that publication are formally described and validated here. Key words: Bulbophyllinae, Dendrobieae, infrageneric classification, large genera Introduction Opinions about the number of genera within the former subtribe Bulbophyllinae (now subsumed in the tribe Dendrobieae) vary between extremes. Some recognized only a few small satellite genera in addition to the mega- genus Bulbophyllum, e.g. Vermeulen (1996), whereas others, e.g. Clements & Jones (2002) and Szlachetko & Margońska (2001), divided the genus into numerous smaller genera. Over the years, more than 50 generic names have been proposed in addition to Bulbophyllum. In Genera orchidacearum (Pridgeon et al. 2014), supported by unpublished DNA studies by Gravendeel and coworkers, only a single genus is recognized within the former Bulbophyllinae. However, that publication presents only the outline of a revised classification of Bulbophyllum. A more detailed account of the Asian and Australian sections of Bulbophyllum is in preparation by the authors.
